Kensington & Chelsea Festival | (Mostly) Free & (Mostly) Outdoors Arts Fest
Kensington and Chelsea might not be the first place you’d go to find street art.
But what these neighbourhoods lack in Shoreditch-level murals, they’re more than making up for with the return of this annual arts festival, in which dozens of local creatives take to the borough’s venues – and even to the streets themselves – with boundary-pushing performances, installations and more.
Most of the programme takes place outdoors, and is entirely free to rock up and watch. And it’s an eclectic line-up to say the least, from outdoor circus acts to a burlesque show… which you’re invited to attend nude. A few particularly tantalising highlights include:
The Swings
Sounds unusual… but they have a lot of big fans.
NOTE: The Kensington & Chelsea Festival 2023 runs throughout July and August. You can find out more, and book tickets for both free and paid performances, HERE.
